2010 MLB Season Discussion

[Akiyama]

Glaus is below average at defense because he's barely got any knees left, but at least he can maybe stop the ball instead of letting it go through.

[Penthesilea]

Yeah, it'll definitely be an upgrade and maybe Conrad will come up big like before and hit some a walk off tonight.

[Alderaan]

It's just so frustrating that we make the playoffs for the first time in 5 years, in Bobby's final season, and we lose the one guy we can't afford to lose to injury.

Infante singles > Heyward gets him to 2nd > Prado doubles him home. That's been the recipe all year.

[Akiyama]

Yeah.. no joke. Prado being out is huge, but I miss Chipper a ton too. Even in his declining time in fielding.. he was tons better than Failrad.

[Moss]

Not to mention Chipper was starting to swing the bat well before his injury and even less than 100% his approach makes him better than our other options. I haven't given up on this series yet but last night was pretty gut wrenching.

[Penthesilea]

I understand the product has been fucking atrocious but really ATL...?

I hate the way this TBS announcer says "error."

Actually, I hate the way that this TBS announcer says anything. God playoff baseball announcers suck -- I'm trying not to remember that we're subject to Joe Buck after this.

[Moss]

what a fucking tag, beautiful

[pohibaba]

His name is Cody Ross!

I don't remember ever seeing many fans up there EVER. Even during the 15 year stretch, lol. What's the count there tonight?'
Also delicious lack of offense by the Braves again lol.

[Alderaan]

I'd kill to have crazy fans pack the park every game like Yanks/Boston, but they also play in little league parks where check swings go over the fence.

Wrigley and Fenway are still my favorite parks though.

[Alderaan]

Bullshit call again. Infante was on the bag.

[Naafeih]

Conrad playing SS now?

[Akiyama]

Sigh. Another error. I'm just not gonna watch this shit anymore. The defense from the Braves this year has been worse than pedestrian.. hurry up and clobber us Giants so this shit can end. Sucks to see Bobby go out like this with sloppy play. So glad we got Alex Gonzalez, guys.

[Melena]

He wasn't, his toe was obviously off the bag. And dear god these announcers fucking suck. "Juan Uribe if 4-7 with the bases loaded including two home runs. And those home runs were grand slam home runs" Well no fucking shit....

[Alderaan]

His toe was on the bag, come on now.

[Moss]

He wasn't, his toe was obviously off the bag. And dear god these announcers fucking suck. "Juan Uribe if 4-7 with the bases loaded including two home runs. And those home runs were grand slam home runs" Well no fucking shit....

No, it wasn't obviously off the bag. It was pretty obviously ON the bag.

[Melena]

I dunno, if it was on it, it barely scraped the bag.

[Moss]

So glad we got Alex Gonzalez, guys.

Can you just leave it alone. Any time he has made a nice defensive play you don't say anything, but if he screws up(or doesn't screw up and has a call go against him) it's "OH WHAT A DUMB TRADE THAT WAS!!!" Maybe you should be a Jays fan so you can keep rooting on Escobar.

[Moss]

I dunno, if it was on it, it barely scraped the bag.

It looked like the front half of his foot was still on the bag.
